A New Headquarters.

An important meeting of Holiday Post,
G. A, r., will be held at Odd Fellows
Hall this evening, to take into considera-
ton the matter of securing another head
quarters. For some time past there has
heen talk among the members OF leasing
old Union Hall, on Main street, and as
about all seemed in favor of the idea, a
meeting will be held this evening To take
some definite action toward securing the
hall. The proposition is to lease the hall
for five years, and it is very probable the
Post will determine to do 80. Union Hall
has laid idle for some time, but it was
formerly one of Wheeling's largest assem-
bly, rooms, and is an excellent place for a
Post headquarters. The first troops en-
listed here at the commencement of the
war were organized there. A full attend
ance at this evenings nesting is desired.

The New Technical Paper.

1.-THE Ohio Valley Manufacturer Is coming
on very nicely, y said Editor ?. II. Moore to
REGISTER man, yesterday. Advertise
ments and subscriptions are coming in at a
most satisfactory rate. Indeed, the press
of advertising has become so great as to
make a delay in the issuing OF the first
number matter of necessity. We had all
along intended to get the paper out about
the middle of october, but it will not now
make its appearance until the second or
third week in November. The paper is to
be sixteen pages, four columns to the page,
and will have very many Of the character
istics of the Age of Steel, as far as general
tiles are concerned The stockholders
are. with the exception Ol myself, made
nm exclusively of the heaviest manu-
facturers in Wheeling and vicinity, and the
paper will be very largely devoted to pro-
noting the manufacturing and industrial
interests Of this section Of the country. At
the same time it will not be exclusively
local in its character. Enough matter OF
general interest will be run to make the
Journal welcome visitor to manufacturers
and business men at other and remote
points. The main object, however, will
be to hold up to the world the resources
and advantages of the upper Ohio valley
in general and of Wheeling in particular,
and think it will be fully appreciated by
our peopIe. The President OF our COM
pany, Mr.. n. E. Whitaker, has been I'M
firing in enlisting substantial support, and
has shown himself to be the right man in
the right place"

loose end of a guy wire which was attached TO an

agonizing screams brought number of men to
his aid, and as he WAS unable TO let go of the wire
